Hello everyone, I am currently just about to begin my 2nd year in biochemistry at university. I have Higher Maths (scotland) at A.
I am thinking of continuing my degree but also when I graduate, apply for actuarial jobs too. I cannot choose between a career in biochemistry and actuary. I have considered both for months and months.
Most companies will want a numerate degree however I have emailed some and they said that biochemistry is fine. However, I must do some additional math work.
Here are my options:
1. Do maths modules at open university. Not a full degree, but modules that are relevant and will help me during the exams.
2. Do the Acted statspack. This is for people with no statistics background I think. And also do the Acted Foundation course. Has anyone done this? I feel it may be too advanced.
3. Do 1&2.
What woul you guys recommend?
